More than 7,000 fans were in attendance as the Warriors conducted a light practice—typical stretching and drills—before the night got more interesting.
Members of the crowd were brought down to the floor for some on-court competitions before things got really strange—the annual rookie “talent” show.
Rookies Craft, Watt, Kilpatrick and James Michael McAdoo donned costumes before singing and dancing for the crowd.
Klay Thompson, entering his fourth season in the NBA, commiserated … sort of … with the rookies on social media.
Craft, in particular, was a hit with his rendition of Party In The USA. Watt did an inspired performance of A Whole New World
It was the largest crowd ever for the event, which coach Steve Kerr told the San Francisco Chronicle is much more about interaction with the fans. The team held a “real” practice for 90 minutes before the fans were allowed into the arena.
